The initial installation is performed using the install utility
located in the root of the ELDK ISO image directory tree. The install
utility has the following syntax:

$ ./install [-d <dir>] [<cpu_family1>] [<cpu_family2>] ...

-d <dir>

Specifies the root directory of the ELDK being installed. If omitted, the ELDK goes into the current directory.

<cpu_family>

Specifies the target CPU family the user desires to install. If one or more <cpu_family> parameters are specified, only the target components specific to the respective CPU families are installed onto the host. If omitted, the target components for all supported target architectureCPU families are installed.

Note: Make sure that the "exec" option to the mount command is in effect when mounting the ELDK ISO image. Otherwise the install program cannot be executed. On some distributions, it may be necessary to modify the /etc/fstab file, adding the "exec" mount option to the cdrom entry - it may also be the case that other existing mount options, such as "user" prevent a particular configuration from mounting the ELDK DVD with appropriate "exec" permission. In such cases, consult your distribution documentation or mount the DVD explicitly using a command such as "sudo mount -o exec /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom" (sudo allows regular users to run certain privileged commands but may not be configured - run the previous command as root without "sudo" in the case that "sudo" has not been setup for use on your particular GNU/Linux system).

You can install the ELDK to any empty directory you wish, the only
requirement being that you have to have write and execute permissions
on the directory. The installation process does not require
superuser privileges.

Depending on the parameters the install utility is invoked with, it
installs one or more sets of target components. The ELDT packages are
installed in any case.
